it's my life

"It's My Life"

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

[Chorus:]
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!

Mother India

Well a bit unusual flick from bollywood. A female character was in the lead role in and around the movie. No drastic changes were made throughout the movie like Nargis ( Radha ) never motivated or try to change her any of the family members to do some exceptional things out of the box as if she also belong to the same place and she looked like a complete village woman, filled with courage and patience.  Nothing likes if Birju got inspired by his girl and try to get educated to put Lalaji on some hard rocks. Sunil Dutt saab was good and played a very sensitive role of that time.On one part of the story tells about the exploitation of Farmers, villagers and on the other hand it deals with the rage, agony in the heart of common Indian people against the money lenders and so called capitalists. Also it showed the age old clutches of poverty and illiteracy over Indian people mostly residing in villages.
When I was watching this movie,  some of the scenes were looking as real as if I have been part of the same story. Sometimes in past I have also seen such cases in my home town or near by villages. Though it may be 10 years back but I have seen farmers from nearby villages pleading in front of bank managers,  local money lenders, doctors, Government clerks , Rashanwallas and even seed distributers for least of their help or minimal cooperation. But as usual I had seen what I saw in the movie.
Best scene of the movie was when Nargis got angry over Sunil Dutt, his son and both of her son cooked food for Nargis and they try to convince her that Sunil Dutt ( Birju ) will never poke over other village girls.

Casino

I saw it with great interest but I found it as a clone to Good Fellas. Director, Writer seems to have same style of screenplay that I saw in Good Fellas. Else Ray Liotta was missing from the movie. Anyways I like the movie and finishing  line was Joe pescy and Robert de Nero were as good as they were in Good Fellas. Martin scorsese must have expertise on such subjects.

What's eating Gilbert Grape

I dont know what I saw in the movie, it was complex. Simplest character was of Arnie's as he was flowing like a mad river here and there. But in a great control. May be Leonardo was actually talented boy at that time as well. But surely  Johnny's character was even more complex that why he let things away always from his hands. Lack of authoritative hand. He acted in the character brilliantly. Johnny was the central character, whose affinity towards his brother and family was very well shown in the movie. But strength in his role came after when  Becky ( Juliette Lewis ) came into different frames. Which let him think little about himself. That was the interesting part for the change which was coming into his character.
Sometimes I surprised that what sort of societies are they, which creates a different origin for writers who dealt with such stories and imagine such characters.
During the play sometimes I thought that I should not complete the movie because a sad yet happy ending was expected but not like this. In India it is almost impossible to fabricate characters and stories on such dimentions.
And also it depends if people are going to like such movies or not, which is a subject of great debate. Because in our part of society when does it happen like this?

I would surely be able to say one can watch this movie but not if not so then he had not miss anything.

After Maharashtra Vidhansabha fiasco, who got what?

Newspapers : Front Page news for a day and ofcourse the redmarked photo for the Abu Azmi saab.

News Channels: Whole day intellectual or non- intellectual engagements to show related to the incident.

Congress-NCP alliance: Another chance to weaken the MNS, Shiv Sena hold ( atleast in nagarpalika )in Maharashtra by projecting as this issue at the core of big blunder.

BJP: Nothing but a chance to stifle their own mistakes, ideology and to show sympathy with the victim ……….. (Fill in the blank) Abu Azmi Saab. Also in my opinion they should not have any alliance with a weak party like Shiv Sena.

Samajwadi Party : For them nothing exists out of Uttar Pradesh, But they can ban Maharashtrians in Uttarpradesh, when Mulayam would be in UP government next time after Mayavati. Also they can make some sort of propaganda to hurt Marathis in Mumbai or related areas ( Its hypothetical completely, If it takes place, then don’t blame me ). Or also they can educate people about the falsehood created by Raj thackrey.

MNS ( Maharashtra NavNirman Sena ): They are in limelight again. But for how much time? I guess until Marathi People don’t understand the actual value to Maharashtrian-pride.

Abu Azmi Saab : Another chance to learn Marathi.

Barkha Dutt : Topic to stop the Buck. I don’t know who many identities are going to be stopped by her. Actually today she asked one question to Abu Azmi saab that ,” Sir, Ab aap Marathi seekhenge ki nahi “. In reply to her he told him that “ Madam, Main Jaroor seekhonga, Marathi Meri Maa ki tarah hai, Lekin main apni Matra bhasha ka bhi apmaan nahi sehs sakta. Main Marathi seekhoonga , taki Maharashtra ke logo ki problem sahi se samajh sakoo, na ki raj thackrey jaise logo ke dar se, is galatfehmi main von na rahe” .

MTV: May be, they might found some thing on this as well to show something on Yungistan. In India they can connect to any political issue these days through their program.

NDTV : They don’t show news these days but try to opinioned people from the view of congress window. So congress’s view on this is their opinion as well as the news for them.

Aaj tak news channel :This channel has real potential to create an animated view of How Azmi Saab was beaten up in Vidhaan Sabha by MNS MLAs and give elongated version of the incident.

India TV new channel: Chance to show bullshit as always.

People of Maharashtra and India: They can have opinions like “ Ye Desh kha jar aha hai” , “ Jai Maharashtra” , “ Baat to sahi hai, Marathwada main Marathi nahi bolenge to kya bolenge” etc. etc.

Home Minister R R Patil : By change he completed his oath, otherwise I could not have chance to write about him assuming him as home minister. By the way he don’t do anything.
